OTHER WORLDS OPENING

Here are a few pictures of my work from the opening of the Other Worlds: The Art Of Illustration show from a few weeks back. The Dan and Gail Cannon Gallery was gracious enough to fly me down to Oregon to attend the opening. The show was great, with amazing work by the other artists involved: Stephan Martiniere, David Palumbo, Omar Ryan, Donato Giancola, Tran Nguyen, and David Meng. The opening reception was a lot of fun, and it was great to get the chance to exhibit with these artists.

Big thanks to show curator Brandon Cline-Jones (pictured with me in a few of these shots) and gallery coordinator Paula Booth for inviting me to be part of the show and for having me down for the opening. Also thanks to Kathyrn and Meagan for hanging my pieces and for all their work during the opening reception.

Other Worlds: The Art Of Illustration is on for a few more weeks, so if you find yourself in the Portland area, head over to the The Dan and Gail Cannon Gallery in Monmouth to take a look!

THIS-IS-COOL

Small feature on my work at UK based sci-fi/fantasy/horror website This-Is-Cool. The site has some nice features on a number of artists, including Faulk Haensel, Thom Tenery and Levi Hopkins to name a few. Anyways, check it out here. 

Thanks to Brian for the interest and his kind words.

WIRED - HAVILAND TUF

I have a spot illustration appearing in the tablet edition of Wired magazine this month. The illustration is a rendition of cult science fiction character Haviland Tuf. I had never heard of Haviland Tuf before doing this illustration, but it is my understanding that this character has quite a large following among science fiction fans. Haviland Tuf appeared in several short stories written in the mid 70's to the mid 80's by Game of Thones author George R. R. Martin. These short stories were then collected together into a single book called Tuf Voyaging in 1986. Due to the success of Game of Thones, and the increased interest in Martin's work, Tuf Voyaging is being republished (the first edition in 10 years).

This was a fun little gig, as I found the Haviland Tuf character pretty interesting and unconventional.  He also hasn't been visualized too many times before, so I felt free to give him my own interpretation.

Thanks to Gus Wezerek at Wired for the input and the opportunity.

CONCEPT ART WORLD

A selection of pieces from my Enartete Kunst series has been featured on Concept Art World. Go here to check out the feature.

Concept Art World is a great site that features production art and illustration by many talented artists from games, film and the art world in general. Pop over to their site and take a look if you haven't been there before.

Thanks to Louis Iracheta at Concept Art World for the interest and the opportunity.
